½ cup  Canola, cottonseed or peanut oil
½ cup Champagne vinegar
¼ cup Ice water
2 Tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
1 Tbsp Kosher salt
½ tsp Black pepper, freshly ground

Gently fold all ingredients together and cover tightly. Refrigerate overnight before serving. Just before serving, toss the salad well to redistribute the dressing.
